By having everyone deposit money into a healthcare savings account, much like people put their money into IRAs, the healthcare crisis, they say, will finally be brought to an end.

These conservative reformers are living in la la land. What they don't understand is that there is no conceivable healthcare reform plan that can resolve America's perpetual healthcare crisis. Anyone who devotes his time, energy, and money trying to do so is just wasting his time, energy, and money. Even if you put the 50 most brilliant conservatives and the nation's 50 top healthcare experts in a room for a month, along with 100 of the most powerful computers in the world, at the end of that month those 100 people would still not have come up with what the mainstream media calls a "comprehensive healthcare reform" package that would resolve America's healthcare crisis. 

That's because any healthcare reform plan leaves the root cause of America's healthcare crisis — Medicare and Medicaid — intact. Those are two massive socialist programs that dominate healthcare. They are the reason for America's decades-old healthcare crisis. Any reform plan that leaves Medicare and Medicaid intact is doomed to fail. 

America once had the finest healthcare system in the world. That was before Medicare and Medicaid were adopted. Healthcare prices were low and stable, so low and stable that hardly anyone had major medical insurance. Going to the doctor was like going to the grocery store. How many people today have grocery store insurance to protect against the soaring prices of groceries? No one. And that's the way it was before Medicare and Medicaid.
